Stomping in the Mud Play Group is a rich, natural outdoor play environment where children have the opportunity to play outside, rain or shine ... a chance for preschoolers to 'live in the moment' while learning through play.

Recently, throughout the Early Childhood Education community, there has been a lot of interest in the value and development of mud kitchens for preschoolers. We decided that it was a good time to post some of our favorite pictures of our very much loved and ever changing mud kitchen.

Sometime the mud kitchen needs more space...

The secret ingredient to any good mud kitchen recipe is water.

The hose is always available!

Scooping and pouring, scooping and pouring. Young children will spend hours in this highly engaging activity.

About Me

Hi there, my name is Dianne and the field of early childhood education has been my passion for over 30 years. Yes, I started in my early 20's. I recently retired from a preschool where I was the supervisor/manager for 23 years. In 2004, I was awarded the Prime Minister's Certificate of Achievement. I believe that preschoolers learn the most important things not by being told but by constructing knowledge for themselves in interaction with the physical world & with other children- they do this by playing. Play is natural. Last but not least, I am blessed to be granny to four grand daughters.
